The KBS Symphony Orchestra will hold a special concert titled 'Son Min-soo & Lim Yoon-chan' on July 22 at 8 p.m. at the Lotte Concert Hall to celebrate its 70th anniversary.
This performance commemorates the 70-year journey of the KBS Symphony Orchestra, which has grown alongside classical music in South Korea. Pianist Son Min-soo and his student Lim Yoon-chan will perform together, with Japanese conductor Masato Suzuki leading the orchestra.
The first half of the concert will feature the overture to Mozart's opera 'Don Giovanni' and the 'Concerto for Two Pianos No. 10 in E-flat major, K. 365.' Notably, Son Min-soo and Lim Yoon-chan will share the stage, showcasing the synergy between teacher and student. Their delicate ensemble, reminiscent of a conversation between two pianos, symbolically represents the 'inheritance of tradition' and the 'growth of future generations' that the 70th anniversary signifies.
The second half will present Dvořák's Symphony No. 8. Known for its bright and lively melodies, this piece conveys messages of comfort, hope, and new beginnings, making it a fitting finale to celebrate the KBS Symphony Orchestra's 70 years with the public.
The special concert, sponsored by Woori Card, sold out immediately after tickets went on sale in early June.
Meanwhile, this concert marks the first collaboration between Son Min-soo and Lim Yoon-chan with an orchestra, following their performance together at the Hyundai Card Duo Recital in 2025.
